Just about all of them can do clone mode, and a bunch can do dual monitor. M200 can do dual, and so can the HPs off the top of my head.
Is there any Tablet PC that can output to dual m
Is there any Tablet PC that can output to dual monitors (naturally or via dock or whatever)?
Basically right now I can have my tablet sitting there and one monitor hooked up and then either output to one or the other, the same image to both, or make the second one an extension (drag stuff to it).. I want a setup where I can output to a monitor and have a second monitor as an extention. Can any tablets do this as of now?

are you sure? i mean so there is literally 2 monitors BESIDES the tablet (might have to reread what i said, or maybe i was unclear).. how do you plug them in?

Most tablet video cards (like my Motion) are dual-head. They can run two simultaneous monitors. One is the tablet itself and the other is external. The external can either clone the tablet screen or extend it (my setup). I've never heard of a tablet that could support its own screen and 2 external monitors. Desktops can do this by using multiple video cards and software to coordinate the images but you can't add another card to your tablet.
As an aside, the latest top-of-the-line gaming machine from Alienware goes the other way: 2 video cards serve one monitor to deliver incredible performance.
I dont need two external monitors and the tablet.. just two external monitors..
Computers also do it w/ one graphics card, if it supports dual VGA (either 2 vga slots or 1 vga and 1 dvi slot), so I was wondering if there was any tablets with dual vga outputs..

We misunderstood you then. No such luck fo you far as I know for dual spanned display. As for cloned, you can get a VGA splitter to share the same source on multiple monitors, but they usually look crappy.
Bummer. Thanks for the replies. :D

I've not heard of a Tablet PC with an inherent dual external monitor capability. You might consider purchasing a Graphics Adapter PCCard - here's a link to one I found searching the web: http://www.margi.com/products/prod_dtg.htm
As Kupe said there are a few Cardbus graphics adaptors
try here for instance http://resellerratings.dealtime.com/...Cards--cardbus
Hope that helps.
